Why won’t my disc play in my other CD player, and what is “Finalization” and how do I do it on my Harman Kardon CD recorder?
Finalization is the process in which the recorder creates an electronic table of contents, or directory, on the new disc, enabling another CD player to locate the beginning and end of each track on the disc. Without this table of contents, the disc will not be recognized by any CD player other than the recording deck of the Harman Kardon CDR. Even the play deck of the CDR cannot recognize or play back unfinalized discs. The finalization procedure is simple. When you have recorded all of the tracks you desire onto the blank disc, make sure the disc is in the recording deck. Press the Finalize button, and while the “Finalize” indicator is flashing in the display, press the Play/Select button. The process will take about 2 minutes. When it is finished, the “Finalize” indicator will stop flashing, and the “CD-R” or “CD-RW” indicator will change to “CD”.
